[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cranky_dan:
I'm on TnT lite 5.

A thread for Vegan (that I read) described it as very good/very stable/"not totally falling in love with appearance". Appearance means something to me. I kept reading.

The TnT dev thread also described it in the same terms *except* for appearance. It looks like stock Android.

It is *very* stable: no crashes. Period.

Having said that, I have only had this tablet since early March.

Regards,

Dan

Not to hijack this thread but just how bad is the stock Rom that ships on the Woot tablets? I don't have mine yet. I'm not scared of flashing a custom Rom as I've been doing it on my phones for a few years. Are people flashing just for the sake of flashing or is the current shipped Rom that unusable?

ROM

Vegan 5.11, used it and haven't regretted it.

I purchased my g-tablet when they first came out at Sears. I never had any problems, even with the original ROM, so I never had the urge to try a hacked version. The Tap'nTap UI isn't as bad as some people want everyone to think. This is not a phone, and I think some users were shocked that the UI was different.

I let the OTA updates install, when they become available. I did root it and install Android Market.

Just a vote to let it fully charge, do the OTA update, and use it. It is very usable that way, no need to hack it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notwen:
I'd be willing to bet you that your stock email app(random others will likely follow) will crash upon your first boot into the stock ROM. It's pretty horrendous, let alone also very crippled.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
Daily Driver...? You mean... leave the same ROM installed for more than a whole day...? You kids... What a concept... ;-)

For today... TwoTapsX with a few minor modifications of my own. I definitely prefer the TnTLite/TwoTapsx path for overall stability and speed but I understand the attraction to VEGAn for some.

G-Harmony-Gingerbread. Once the root access isses are solved it will be the best ROM out there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiction300:
G-Harmony-Gingerbread for now.

Still trying to find a ROM that is stable and offers complete mutlimedia experience.

G-Harmony-Gingerbread doesnt play videos, or play them as if they were HD video streamed over a 56.6K dialup.

Came from calkulin. Didnt play videos at all, Photos viewing was not working neither (all pictures auto-rotated to the left).

didnt like stock TNT. But at least it was playing video and offered photos gallery that worked. :confused:

So, I am still trying ROMs.

Migth end up returning the Gtab and geting a xoom.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunglint:
Re: wooter - I just got mine yesterday. Out of the box it's fine, I just didnt like not having the full market. I went ahead and added the clockwork mod then tried TNT lite. This thing FLIES, absolutely no comparison between the stock rom and TNT. I'm interested in Vegan and will try 5.1.1 soon. After a G1 and now a defy I had no idea android could be this fast!

Calkulin's with Clemsyn's #7 kernel

Currently TnT Lite. Fast, and seems to be stable. Once VeganTab gets an updated, I'll probably give it a shot.

TnT Lite 4.4.0
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxdelirium:
Yeaaa its fun to flash all the new stuff with this thing..

I've been on CM7 with the tablet tweaks for a few days now!

Liking the status bar at the bottom. All Gapps and most other apps I have tried are working!

Installed with the honeybread honeycomb theme. Thats some good stuff!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicroChip:
I have been using [CM7]Honeycomb/CM tablet tweaks [BUGFIXED RELEASE #1] 04.04.2011 which is CM7 with some Honeycomb features, the tablet enhancements for CM7, compiled for several tablets. The thread is actually in the Nook area on XDA, here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002000

It's about as stable I can find for Gingerbread. When I got my GTab I was on TNT Lite for a while. Then I was on Vegan for a while. Then Vegan Ginger for awhile and now this. It seems a natural progression as each is further from how the GTab came from Viewsonic, and closer to what I am used to on my phone.

If Gojimi ever comes back and gets the hardware acceleration code in to Vegan Ginger, and it's got most of the tablet features in the rom I'm using, plus his enhanced launcher, I'll be jumping back to that at least to try, but for now my daily is the one above.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radon_22:
Is there a rom out there that plays higher-def videos? I can play low-res xvid and mp4's, but 720p videos are choking with TnT Lite (current).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
two to compare

Vegan 5.1 on one, Calkulins 1.1 on the other. I've tried most of the others too. Once you install one you can back it up with clockwork and then try another and another and restore each one using clockwork until you decide. Vegan does seem to be the brand of choice but tnt 4.4 is good and Calkulins 1.1 with clemsyns kernel really books too. Honestly I don't see that much difference in features for the general user so unless you have some specific issues you can choose any of these and you will like it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Judo Jeff:
I'm a Tntlite guy. I have tried both that and Vegan. I use the tablet a fair bit for video (mostly 720p H.264) so I need the video to work and those two roms support the hardware decoding.

Both Vegan and TnTLite are good solid stable roms, my only issue with Vegan has ended up being battery life - something is going on under the hood I can't figure out while it sleeps and it chews up battery compared to TntLite.

@ Radon - you need to check your encoding settings...Tegra 2 is picky about a lot of parameters for encoding - and if it's 720p mkv, you don't have a hope of making it work...mkv isn't supported.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miatawnt2b:
I just read in an above thread that you should change WIFI settings to "disable wifi when sleeping" option in Vegan.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3vr0n5:
Calkulin's v1.1 with Clemsyn's v9 kernel. It's fast, stable, and has excellent battery life. I've used every rom except for gAdam and I have grown to love this one but I will always have a special place in my heart for VEGAn Tab. (=

I need someone who has an unflashed sgs4g to contact me. It can be rooted but you can't have tried ANY other flashing including Roms or cwm, etc. I need a clean system dump. I will gladly walk anyone through how to do it. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hailthethief:
I'll be glad to help. Send me the details and I'll get it to you. I have not attempted to flash anything and my phone is only rooted. I don't believe it matters that I'm running a different launcher with widgetlocker, does it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
My wife just got hers a couple days ago. I haven't messed with it just in case of something like this. (Stock - un-rooted)

Just want a dump from Odin?

Whats this for? did you mess yours up? or just missing some code?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xsteven77x:
Same here be more than happy to help ya., just got the phone yesterday all I did was root.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Toshinobu:

No it doesn't matter. I'll contact you via PM. Give me about 20 minutes or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
I just need a clean dump to work off of for dev purposes. Do u know how to dump via cygwin?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
alone,

I think you can deodex dump of the entire rom including the apps. so you will not get any error deodexing the apps separately. that what the vibrant devs are doing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Anyone who wants to help, here's how. First you need to install adb on your PC and also install Cygwin. Set your phone to USB debugging turned on and hook your phone to PC. Make sure all your drivers are installed, if not windows will ask for them. Now open cygwin and type the following:

Adb shell

Su

dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs BS=4096

dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs BS=4096

Now get those two files from your sdcard, zip them up and post to multiupload and just send me the link. Thanks to everyone for helping.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH WHAT YOU PULL. You have to tar it a certain way for it to work with Odin.And try to leave all the bloat if u can.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
I already know that and have tried that. This has nothing to do with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Haven't used it. But I am good term, and cmd. So I am sure I could get it going. Wife is going to be at work until 5:30pm, and it's 11am here now. So if you can wait I will give it a shot.

that is if there aren't any others here that can get it to you faster

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hailthethief:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hailthethief:
Im install cygwin now. Ive already installed adb.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
You misunderstand me, YOU need ADB and Cygwin to dump those rfs files.

ADB

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hailthethief:
Thank You. Im doing the correct ADB rather than the one I downloaded earlier. Its updating atm then I will be able to get you the dumps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
Any way you could post a download when you get the dump? Just wanted to have a super clean virgin rom if I ever want to flash back to factory.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hailthethief:
It'll be posted as soon as everythings finished.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Could you make a Odin flashable version of the virgin rom when you have it? I'm sure it would help alot of people out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hailthethief:
Im having some troubles getting this going if anyone else could start trying on their system. I sent alone a PM regarding the issue. if I can't get this done now, I will continue to try at my house.

Gladly do this for us just curious is this gonna have all my personal info included?...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
As far as I know yes. Unless you delete user data from the factory recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
No. Personal data is NOT transferred.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I like this command line stuff. It reminds me of my DOS days. I just wish I understood more about what to do with this after I got it downloaded. BTW this phone is not a virgin unfortunately. It's not that I would have a problem getting it uploaded, It's just not a qualified virgin requested. It would be nice to understand how to take it apart and see how it works. (no programming background yet)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ntxchick:
Do you still need someone? Mine is virgin, unrooted. I'll be at my computer for the next hour or so...otherwise Monday if ya need mine. Let me know :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Yes please, I've still yet to get a copy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ntxchick:
When I typed Su it said not found....is this because I'm not rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xsteven77x:
Oh for god sakes do I need to just do this when I get home myself? I'm very familiar with adb and can learn anything on a computer I'm sure I'll get it. Either way with the personal data, as long as I get word that it won't be shared or used for bad purposes ill just do whatever is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
That's Super User. Yes it's looking for a root. That would be SuperOne Click 1.7, And the OP said it can be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xsteven77x:
Can be home in twenty minutes. Do not want to do all this if someone else is already in process.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xsteven77x:
This could not be as easy as hiring system dump in sgs tools could it? Is anyone awake in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Yes Steven, I'm reading every snarky comment you've posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Toshinobu:
When I execute the two 'dd' commands I get a message saying "unknown operand BS". Regardless, I checked my SD card for the two files but they weren't there. Let me know what to do I'll be here for approximately the next hour.

to flash this:

and voila, you're rooted. (albeit minus all your data). Just make sure you read the posts and flashing instructions. and don't use the pit files.

That should work, unless your trying to copy your virgin ROM and you need to root it to do so. Then I have no idea. Hope I helped!

I've had the same issue as the users in that other thread where it boots into 3e recovery when I try to root and won't verify the signatures. I never could find a solution. I haven't tried using the Odin method yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
If you tried that 3E fix that was posted in another thread, you are likely going to have to use Oden to get you back to a stock or the deodexed shadowmans rom. the 3e doesn’t work on the SGS4G. I know I tried and had to Oden back to stock. Check this Thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978836

for info how to use ODEN. I thought you had a Virgin phone though... You should not need to do Oden if you have not tried to mod your phone yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ntxchick:
Sorry, I'm a little confused. Which 3e fix are you referring to? I still do have virgin phone. I tried to root with Super One Click but when I tried to run the update.zip it gave me that signature verification failure. The screen said 3e at the top, so I'm assuming that meant I was in 3e recovery right? Sorry, I am a noob here.

I have read and kept up with the Odin rom threads enough that I think I have a good enough understanding of how to flash the new deodexed rom to my phone, but I haven't tried yet.

I am still curious though what it is that caused my error and why other people are running into the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ntxchick:
Is this the fix you were referring to?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

I haven't tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
That’s what I thought from reading your posts… You have a Virgin phone. The3E fix was something posted a couple weeks ago @ this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993652. All it did was mess things up and the thread has been closed. I don’t understand what you mean by “I tried to run the update Zip”. SuperOneClick is a file named SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse in its compressed state and extracts into a Directory called SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse. There is a file named SuperOneClick inside that directory that runs the program. “update Zip” is a file that is another way that is used to Root the Vibrant / before installing using CWM which currently doesn’t work with the new SGS4G yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Not sure what version it is but it should work still. Just try Psneuter first and if it doesn't work then do rageagainstthecage.

Shortfuse 1.7 extracts fine for me too. If I upload it here, it will be the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I downloaded it twice and both times it extracted fine. I even started the program and it started fine. I don't see any issues with this file. The other version might work,,, I haven't used it on the 4G, so can't say for sure I Know 1.7 works.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
Here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 It depends on how you have your preferences setup on XDA.
